     wherein R1, R2 and R3 are defined below and to pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The compounds of this invention are bacterial peptide deformylase inhibitors and can be useful in the treatment of bacterial infections.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to certain {2-(alkyl)-3-[2-(5-fluoro-4-pyrimidinyl)hydrazino]-3-oxopropyl}hydroxyformamide compounds, compositions containing them, the use of such compounds in the inhibition of bacterial peptide deformylase (PDF) activity, and in the treatment of bacterial infections.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Bacterial protein synthesis starts with N-formyl-methionyl-tRNA (f-Met-tRNA_(i)) and, as a consequence, all newly synthesized polypeptides contain an N-formyl-methionine terminus (f-Met-pp) (Scheme I). Peptide deformylase (PDF) is a metalloenzyme that removes the N-formyl group of the polypeptides as they emerge from the ribosome during the elongation process [Adams, J. M. (1968) J. Mol. Biol. 33, 571-589; Livingston, D. M. and Leder, P. (1969) Biochemistry 8, 435-443; Ball, L. A. and Kaesberg, P. (1973) J. Mol. Biol. 79, 531-537]. Depending on the nature of their second amino acid, polypeptides are further processed by methionine amino peptidase (MAP) to yield the mature protein. Deformylation plays an indispensable role in protein maturation as MAP, an essential enzyme for bacterial growth, cannot hydrolyze N-blocked peptides.

PDF is ubiquitous in bacteria, with at least one pdf gene present in all bacterial genomes sequenced to date.

PDF does not play a role in eukaryotic cytoplasmic protein synthesis which does not involve N-formylation, but nuclear-encoded PDF proteins, containing a chloroplast/mitochondria localization signal, have been identified in parasites, plants and mammals, including humans. PDF is essential in plant and parasite organelles since their genomes encode for a number of proteins which require deformylation for activity, but there is evidence to suggest that this is not the case in animals. In fact, characterization of human mitochondrial PDF has shown that it is much less active than its bacterial counterpart. Furthermore, PDF inhibitors which are active against the human PDF enzyme in vitro have no effect on the growth of normal human cell lines [Nguyen, K. T., Hu, X., Colton, C., Chakrabarti, R., Zhu, M. X. and Pei, D. (2003) Biochemistry 42, 9952-9958].

Thus, PDF inhibitors represent a promising new class of antibacterial agents with a novel mode of action covering a broad-spectrum of pathogens.

PDF inhibitors have been described in the art. Patent applications have been filed on hydrazine-3-oxopropyl hydroxyformamide derivatives of the following formula, see WO 03/101442 and WO2006/055663.

Thus, attempts have been made to prepare compounds that inhibit PDF activity and a number of such compounds have been disclosed in the art. However, there remains a continuing need for inhibitors of PDF which can be used in the treatment of bacterial infections.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to certain {2-(alkyl)-3-[2-(5-fluoro-4-pyrimidinyl)hydrazino]-3-oxopropyl}hydroxyformamide derivatives, compositions containing them, the use of such compounds in the inhibition of bacterial peptide deformylase (PDF) activity, and in the treatment of bacterial infections. Specifically, the invention is directed to compounds of Formula (I):

wherein R1, R2 and R3 are defined below and to pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The compounds of this invention are bacterial peptide deformylase inhibitors and can be useful in the treatment of bacterial infections.

The compounds according to Formula I may contain one or more asymmetric centers (also referred to as a chiral center) and may, therefore, exist as individual enantiomers, diastereomers, or other stereoisomeric forms, or as mixtures thereof. Chiral centers, such as chiral carbon atoms, may also be present in a substituent such as an alkyl group. Where the stereochemistry of a chiral center present in Formula I, or in any chemical structure illustrated herein, is not specified, the structure is intended to encompass all individual stereoisomers and all mixtures thereof. Thus, compounds according to Formula I containing one or more chiral centers may be used as racemic mixtures, diastereomeric mixtures, enantiomerically enriched mixtures, diastereomerically enriched mixtures, or as enantiomerically and diastereomerically pure individual stereoisomers.

Individual stereoisomers of a compound according to Formula I which contain one or more asymmetric centers may be resolved by methods known to those skilled in the art. For example, such resolution may be carried out (1) by formation of diastereoisomeric salts, complexes or other derivatives; (2) by selective reaction with a stereoisomer-specific reagent, for example by enzymatic oxidation or reduction; or (3) by gas-liquid or liquid chromatography in a chiral environment, for example, on a chiral support such as silica with a bound chiral ligand or in the presence of a chiral solvent. The skilled artisan will appreciate that where the desired stereoisomer is converted into a diastereomeric salt, complex or derivative, a further step is required to liberate the desired form. Alternatively, specific stereoisomers may be synthesized by asymmetric synthesis using optically active reagents, substrates, catalysts or solvents, or by converting one enantiomer to the other by asymmetric transformation.

The compounds according to Formula I may also contain double bonds or other centers of geometric asymmetry. Where the stereochemistry of a center of geometric asymmetry present in Formula I, or in any chemical structure illustrated herein, is not specified, the structure is intended to encompass the trans (E) geometric isomer, the cis (Z) geometric isomer, and all mixtures thereof. Likewise, all tautomeric forms are also included in Formula I whether such tautomers exist in equilibrium or predominately in one form.

In certain embodiments, compounds according to Formula I may contain an acidic functional group. In certain other embodiments, compounds according to Formula I may contain a basic functional group. Thus, the skilled artisan will appreciate that salts of the compounds according to Formula I may be prepared. Indeed, in certain embodiments of the invention, salts of the compounds according to Formula I may be preferred over the respective free base or free acid because, for example, such salts may impart greater stability or solubility to the molecule thereby facilitating formulation into a dosage form. Accordingly, the invention is further directed pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds according to Formula I. For a review on suitable salts see Berge et al, J. Pharm. Sci., 1977, 66, 1-19.

Acid salts: Suitable addition salts are formed from acids which form non-toxic salts and examples are hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, sulphate, bisulphate, nitrate, phosphate, hydrogen phosphate, acetate, maleate, malate, fumarate, malonate, lactate, tartrate, citrate, formate, gluconate, succinate, piruvate, oxalate, oxaloacetate, trifluoroacetate, saccharate, benzoate, methanesulphonate, ethanesulphonate, benzenesulphonate, p-toluenesulphonate, methanesulphonic, ethanesulphonic, p-toluenesulphonic, and isethionate.

Base salts: Pharmaceutically acceptable base salts include ammonium salts, alkali metal salts such as those of sodium and potassium, alkaline earth metal salts such as those of calcium and magnesium and salts with organic bases, including salts of primary, secondary and tertiary amines, such as isopropylamine, diethylamine, ethanolamine, trimethylamine, dicyclohexyl amine and N-methyl-D-glucamine.

As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refers to salts that retain the desired biological activity of the subject compound and exhibit minimal undesired toxicological effects. These pharmaceutically acceptable salts may be prepared in situ during the final isolation and purification of the compound, or by separately reacting the purified compound in its free acid or free base form with a suitable base or acid, respectively.

As used herein, the term “compounds of the invention” means both the compounds according to Formula I and salts thereof, including pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The term “a compound of the invention” also appears herein and refers to both a compound according to Formula I and its salts, including pharmaceutically acceptable salts.

The compounds of the invention may exist in solid or liquid form. In the solid state, the compounds of the invention may exist in crystalline or noncrystalline form, or as a mixture thereof. For compounds of the invention that are in crystalline form, the skilled artisan will appreciate that pharmaceutically-acceptable solvates may be formed wherein solvent molecules are incorporated into the crystalline lattice during crystallization. Solvates may involve nonaqueous solvents such as ethanol, isopropanol, DMSO, acetic acid, ethanolamine, and ethyl acetate, or they may involve water as the solvent that is incorporated into the crystalline lattice. Solvates wherein water is the solvent that is incorporated into the crystalline lattice are typically referred to as “hydrates.” Hydrates include stoichiometric hydrates as well as compositions containing variable amounts of water. The invention includes all such solvates.

The skilled artisan will further appreciate that certain compounds of the invention that exist in crystalline form, including the various solvates thereof, may exhibit polymorphism (i.e. the capacity to occur in different crystalline structures). These different crystalline forms are typically known as “polymorphs.” The invention includes all such polymorphs. Polymorphs have the same chemical composition but differ in packing, geometrical arrangement, and other descriptive properties of the crystalline solid state. Polymorphs, therefore, may have different physical properties such as shape, density, hardness, deformability, stability, and dissolution properties. Polymorphs typically exhibit different melting points, IR spectra, and X-ray powder diffraction patterns, which may be used for identification. The skilled artisan will appreciate that different polymorphs may be produced, for example, by changing or adjusting the reaction conditions or reagents used in making the compound, or by using different isolation or purification procedures. For example, changes in temperature, pressure, or solvent may result in polymorphs. In addition, one polymorph may spontaneously convert to another polymorph under certain conditions.

Greene and P. Wuts, Protecting Groups in Chemical Synthesis (3rd ed.), John Wiley & Sons, NY (1999). In some instances, a substituent may be specifically selected to be reactive under the reaction conditions used. Under these circumstances, the reaction conditions convert the selected substituent into another substituent that is either useful as an intermediate compound or is a desired substituent in a target compound.

As shown in Scheme 1, (11) can be prepared by reacting an appropriate acid chloride (2) with a chiral agent, such as (S)-(−)-4-benzyl-2-oxazolidinone (Evans' chiral oxazolidinone), in the presence of a base, such as n-butyl lithium, to afford the chiral intermediate (3). Treatment of the compound (3) with a base, such as diisopropylethylamine, in the presence of a chelating agent, such as titanium tetrachloride, in a solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran, followed by addition of an electrophile, such as benzyloxymethylchloride, provides compound (4). Conversion of compound (4) to the corresponding hydroxyacid (7) can be achieved by a sequence comprising oxidative cleavage of the chiral oxazolidinone, using, for example H₂O₂ and lithium hydroxide, to the respective intermediate (5), followed by hydrogenolysis, to afford intermediate (7). Compound (3) can also be converted to intermediate (7) in an alternative two-step procedure. For this transformation, (3) can be treated with a base, such as diisopropylethylamine, in the presence of a chelating agent, such as titanium tetrachloride, in a solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran, followed by addition of trioxane or a suitable alternative formaldehyde equivalent to provide compound (6), which is then submitted to oxidative cleavage of the chiral oxazolidinone, using, for example H₂O₂ and lithium hydroxide, to the respective acid (7).

Coupling of acid (7) with benzyloxyamine in the presence of coupling agents, such as EDC and DMAP, yields the amide (8). This can be cyclized to azetidin-2-one (9) using Mitsunobu conditions. Hydrolysis of the azetidin-2-one (9), using for example lithium hydroxide in an appropriate solvent, gives the corresponding acid (10). Conversion of compound (10) to product (11) can be achieved using an appropriate formylating agent, such as formic acid/acetic anhydride or methyl formate, in neat reagents or in an appropriate solvent, such as dichloromethane.

As shown in Scheme 2, THP-protected intermediate (15) can be prepared by hydrogenation of azetidin-2-one (9) using a catalyst, such as 10% Pd/C, in an appropriate solvent, such as ethanol to provide (12). Treatment of (12) with dihydropyran under acid catalysis, such as pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate, in an appropriate solvent, such as methylene chloride, provides THP-protected azetidin-2-one (13). Hydrolysis of azetidin-2-one (13), using for example lithium hydroxide in an appropriate solvent, gives the corresponding acid (14). Conversion of compound (14) to the product (15) can be achieved using an appropriate formylating agent, such as formic acid/acetic anhydride or methyl formate, in neat reagents or in an appropriate solvent, such as dichloromethane. Conversion of compound (14) to product (15) can also be accomplished using 5-methyl-2-thioxo-[1,3,4]thiadiazole-3-carbaldehyde (Yazawa, Hisatoyo; Goto, Shunsuke; Tetrahedron Lett. 26; 31; 1985; 3703-3706) as a formylating agent in an appropriate solvent, such as acetone.

Intermediate (15) can also be prepared according to literature procedures [Bracken, Bushell, Dean, Francavilla, Jain, Lee, Seepersaud, Shu, Sundram, Yuan; PCT Int. Appl. (2006), WO 2006127576 A2].

As shown in Scheme 3, coupling of the chiral acid (11 or 15) with the pyrimidinyl hydrazine (16, R2=alkyl, halo, H), using conditions such as EDC-HOAt-NMM, provides the hydrazide (17 or 18). Final deprotection (hydrogenolysis using a catalyst, such as 10% Pd/C, in an appropriate solvent, such as ethanol, in the case that P is Bn; treatment with 80% acetic acid-water at room temperature or 40° C. in the case that P is THP) gives the final desired compounds (1), where R2=alkyl, halo, H.

Hydrazines of general structure (16) may be prepared according to literature methods by those skilled in the art. The following examples of specific structures of hydrazines (16) and the synthetic methods used to generate them are merely illustrative and are not to be construed as a limitation of the scope of the present invention.

Hydrazines (24) where R2 is alkyl and R3 is an amino group (R4R5N) may be prepared from the appropriate precursors as shown in Scheme 4.

As shown in Scheme 4, hydrazine (24) when R2 is hydrogen or alkyl can be prepared from the condensation of commercially-available fluoromalonate (19) and the appropriate amidine (20) under basic conditions to provide pyrimidinone (21). Amidines (20) are commercially available or may be prepared according to literature methods by those skilled in the art. Treatment of pyrimidinone (21) with POCl₃ provides dichloropyrimidine (22). Treatment of dichloropyrimidine (22) with the desired amine R4R5NH at room temperature in an appropriate solvent, such as methanol or DMSO, followed by further treatment with hydrazine monohydrate, in an appropriate solvent, such as DMSO, usually with heating, then provides the desired product (24) where R2 is hydrogen or alkyl.

Hydrazines of formula (30) [(16) in which R2=chloro] may be prepared as shown in either Schemes 5 or 6.

Condensation of commercially-available fluoromalonate (19) and urea under basic conditions provides pyrimidinone (25). Treatment of pyrimidinone (25) with POCl₃ provides trichloropyrimidine (26). Treatment of trichloropyrimidine (26) with Boc-protected hydrazine and diisopropylethylamine at room temperature in an appropriate solvent, such as THF, provides intermediate (27). Further treatment with di-t-butyldicarbonate in the presence of diisopropylethylamine and DMAP, in an appropriate solvent, such as methylene chloride, then provides the desired tri-Boc-protected product (28). Treatment of (28) with amine R4R5NH, in an appropriate solvent such as DMF, provides pyrimidine (29), and deprotection of (29) under acidic conditions, followed by a basic workup, provides the desired hydrazines (30).

Alternatively, hydrazines of formula (30) may be prepared as shown in Scheme 6.

Treatment of trichloropyrimidine (26) with the desired amine R4R5NH at room temperature in an appropriate solvent, such as DMSO, followed by further treatment with hydrazine monohydrate and heating, provides the desired product (30), as well as the regioisomeric product (32). The two regioisomers can usually be separated chromatographically, such as by HPLC.

Final compounds (1) where R2 is thiomethyl or methoxy can be prepared as shown in Scheme 7.

Condensation of commercially-available fluoromalonate (19) and either O-methylisourea hemisulfate or S-methylisothiourea hemisulfate under basic conditions provides pyrimidinone (33), in which R2 is methoxy or thiomethyl, respectively. Treatment of pyrimidinone (33) with POCl₃ provides dichloropyrimidine (34). Treatment of dichloropyrimidine (34) with hydrazine monohydrate, in an appropriate solvent, such as methanol, provides pyrimidinylhydrazine (35), which is then coupled to acid (11) or (15) using conditions such as EDC-HOAt-NMM to provide intermediate (36). Addition of R4R5NH to intermediate (36) provides either the O-Bn-protected or O-THP-protected product (37). Final deprotection by either hydrogenolysis using a catalyst such as 10% Pd/C, in an appropriate solvent, such as ethanol, in the case that P is Bn; or treatment with 80% acetic acid-water at room temperature or 40° C. in the case that P is THP, gives the final desired compounds (1) when R2 is methoxy or thiomethyl, respectively.

Amines R4R5NH may be purchased from available commercial sources, prepared according to literature methods by those skilled in the art, or prepared as disclosed in the examples herein.

Another embodiment of the present invention provides for a method of treating a bacterial infection in humans comprising administration of [(2R)-3-{2-[2-Chloro-5-fluoro-6-(4-methyl-4,7-diazaspiro[2.5]oct-7-yl)-4-pyrimidinyl]hydrazino}-2-(cyclopentylmethyl)-3-oxopropyl]hydroxyformamide, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, to a human in need thereof.

Another embodiment of the present invention provides for a method of treating a bacterial infection in humans comprising administration of ((2R)-2-(Cyclopentylmethyl)-3-{2-[5-fluoro-2-methyl-6-(4-methyl-4,7-diazaspiro[2.5]oct-7-yl)-4-pyrimidinyl]hydrazino}-3-oxopropyl)hydroxyformamide, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, to a human in need thereof.

As used herein, “infectious disease” refers to any disease characterized by the presence of a microbial infection, such as a bacterial infection.

As used herein, “treat” in reference to a condition means: (1) to ameliorate or prevent the condition or one or more of the biological manifestations of the condition, (2) to interfere with (a) one or more points in the biological cascade that leads to or is responsible for the condition or (b) one or more of the biological manifestations of the condition, (3) to alleviate one or more of the symptoms or effects associated with the condition, or (4) to slow the progression of the condition or one or more of the biological manifestations of the condition.

As indicated above “treatment” of a condition includes prevention of the condition. The skilled artisan will appreciate that “prevention” is not an absolute term. In medicine, “prevention” is understood to refer to the prophylactic administration of a drug to substantially diminish the likelihood or severity of a condition or biological manifestation thereof, or to delay the onset of such condition or biological manifestation thereof.

As used herein, “effective amount” in reference to a compound of the invention means an amount of the compound sufficient to treat the patient's condition, but low enough to avoid serious side effects (at a reasonable benefit/risk ratio) within the scope of sound medical judgment. An effective amount of a compound will vary with the particular compound chosen (e.g., consider the potency, efficacy, and half-life of the compound); the route of administration chosen; the condition being treated; the severity of the condition being treated; the age, size, weight, and physical condition of the patient being treated; the medical history of the patient being treated; the duration of the treatment; the nature of concurrent therapy; the desired therapeutic effect; and like factors, and can be routinely determined by the skilled artisan.

As used herein, “patient” refers to a human or other mammal.

The compounds of the invention may be administered by any suitable route of administration, including both systemic administration and topical administration. Systemic administration includes oral administration, parenteral administration, transdermal administration, rectal administration, and administration by inhalation. Parenteral administration refers to routes of administration other than enteral, transdermal, or by inhalation, and is typically by injection or infusion. Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intramuscular, and subcutaneous injection or infusion. Inhalation refers to administration into the patient's lungs whether inhaled through the mouth or through the nasal passages. Topical administration includes application to the skin as well as intraocular, intravaginal, and intranasal administration.

The compounds of the invention may be administered once or according to a dosing regimen wherein a number of doses are administered at varying intervals of time for a given period of time. For example, doses may be administered one, two, three, or four times per day. Doses may be administered until the desired therapeutic effect is achieved or indefinitely to maintain the desired therapeutic effect. Suitable dosing regimens for a compound of the invention depend on the pharmacokinetic properties of that compound, such as absorption, distribution, and half-life, which can be determined by the skilled artisan. In addition, suitable dosing regimens, including the duration such regimens are administered, for a compound of the invention depend on the condition being treated, the severity of the condition being treated, the age and physical condition of the patient being treated, the medical history of the patient being treated, the nature of concurrent therapy, the desired therapeutic effect, and like factors within the knowledge and expertise of the skilled artisan. It will be further understood by such skilled artisans that suitable dosing regimens may require adjustment given an individual patient's response to the dosing regimen or over time as individual patient needs change.

Typical daily dosages may vary depending upon the particular route of administration chosen. Typical daily dosages for oral administration, to a human weighing approximately 70 kg, would range from 50 mg to 3 g, suitably 100 mg to 2 g of a compound of the invention a day.

Additionally, the compounds of the invention may be administered as prodrugs. As used herein, a “prodrug” of a compound of the invention is a functional derivative of the compound which, upon administration to a patient, eventually liberates the compound of the invention in vivo. Administration of a compound of the invention as a prodrug may enable the skilled artisan to do one or more of the following: (a) modify the onset of the compound in vivo; (b) modify the duration of action of the compound in vivo; (C) modify the transportation or distribution of the compound in vivo; (d) modify the solubility of the compound in vivo; and (e) overcome a side effect or other difficulty encountered with the compound. Typical functional derivatives used to prepare prodrugs include modifications of the compound that are chemically or enzymatically cleaved in vivo. Such modifications, which include the preparation of phosphates, amides, esters, thioesters, carbonates, and carbamates, are well known to those skilled in the art.

The invention also provides a compound of the invention for use in medical therapy, particularly in bacterial infections. Thus, in a further aspect, the invention is directed to the use of a compound according to Formula I or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt thereof in the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of bacterial infections.

As stated above, compounds according to Formula I are PDF inhibitors, and may be useful in the treatment of bacterial infections. The biological activity of the compounds according to Formula I can be determined using suitable assays such as those measuring inhibition of the enzymatic activity of PDF and those evaluating the ability of the compounds to inhibit bacterial growth in vitro or in animal models of infection.

Certain Examples of the invention possess greater in vitro antibacterial activity (MIC and/or MIC90) and/or better in vivo efficacy over the examples from WO 03/101442. These Examples include, but are not limited to, the following:

-   [(2R)-2-(Cyclopentylmethyl)-3-(2-{5-fluoro-6-[(9aS)-hexahydropyrazino[2,1-c][1,4]oxazin-8(1H)-yl]-2-methyl-4-pyrimidinyl}hydrazino)-3-oxopropyl]hydroxyformamide; -   [(2R)-3-(2-{2-Chloro-6-[(2R)-2,4-dimethyl-1-piperazinyl]-5-fluoro-4-pyrimidinyl}hydrazino)-2-(cyclopentylmethyl)-3-oxopropyl]hydroxyformamide; -   [(2R)-2-(Cyclopentylmethyl)-3-(2-{6-[(2R)-2,4-dimethyl-1-piperazinyl]-5-fluoro-2-methyl-4-pyrimidinyl}hydrazino)-3-oxopropyl]hydroxyformamide; -   [(2R)-3-{2-[2-Chloro-5-fluoro-6-(4-methyl-4,7-diazaspiro[2.5]oct-7-yl)-4-pyrimidinyl]hydrazino}-2-(cyclopentylmethyl)-3-oxopropyl]hydroxyformamide;     and -   ((2R)-2-(Cyclopentylmethyl)-3-{2-[5-fluoro-2-methyl-6-(4-methyl-4,7-diazaspiro[2.5]oct-7-yl)-4-pyrimidinyl]hydrazino}-3-oxopropyl)hydroxyformamide.

PDF IC50 Assay

Enzymatic activity of PDF was measured using a formate dehydrogenase (FDH)-coupled assay [Lazennec and Meinnel (1997) Anal. Biochem. 244, 180-182]. Once formate is released from methionine by PDF, it is oxidized by FDH thereby reducing one molecule of NAD to NADH and resulting in an increase in absorbance at 340 nm. Reactions were initiated by adding PDF to microtiter plates containing all other reaction components and were continuously monitored for 20 min at 25° C. The final reaction composition for the Staphylococcus aureus PDF (SaPDF) assay was 50 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.6, 5 units/mL FDH, 7 mM NAD, 5% DMSO, 1 nM SaPDF, and 2.9 mM formyl-Met-Ala-Ser in 50 μL total volume. Serial dilutions of inhibitors were performed in DMSO. Reagents and assay format were identical for Haemophilus influenzae PDF except that formyl-Met-Ala-Ser was 6 mM final. In the Streptococcus pneumoniae PDF assay, reaction conditions were similar but contained 30 pM enzyme, 2 mM NAD and 4 mM formyl-Met-Ala-Ser. The varying formyl-Met-Ala-Ser concentrations reflect K_(M) values for substrate using the different PDF isozymes. IC₅₀s were determined by fitting to the equation: % Inhibition=100/1+(IC₅₀/[I])^(s), where s is a slope factor, I is the inhibitor concentration and the IC₅₀ is the concentration of compound that causes 50% inhibition.

Results

Examples 1-281 inhibit S. aureus, H. influenzae and S. pneumoniae PDF activities with IC50s≦100 nM.

Antimicrobial Activity Assay

Whole-cell antimicrobial activity was determined by broth microdilution using the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI, formerly NCCLS) recommended methodology (NCCLS Document M7-A6, “Methods for Dilution Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria that Grow Aerobically Approved Standard Sixth Edition”, 2003). Compounds were tested in serial two-fold dilutions ranging from 64 to 0.06 μg/mL. A panel of 12 strains was evaluated in the assay. This panel consisted of the following laboratory strains: Staphylococcus aureus Oxford, Staphylococcus aureus WCUH29, Enterococcus faecalis I, Enterococcus faecalis 7, Haemophilus influenzae Q1, Haemophilus influenzae NEMC1, Moraxella catarrhalis 1502, Streptococcus pneumoniae 1629, Streptococcus pneumoniae N1387, Streptococcus pneumoniae Ery2, Escherichia coli 7623 (AcrABEFD+) and Escherichia coli 120 (AcrAB−). The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined as the lowest concentration of compound that inhibited visible growth. A mirror reader was used to assist in determining the MIC endpoint.

Results

Each of the Examples 1-281 have a minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC)≦4 μg/mL against at least one of the organisms listed above. For at least one strain of every organism listed above, at least one example had an MIC≦4 μg/mL, with the exception of Enterococcus faecalis I, and Enterococcus faecalis 7, for which most examples had MICs≧16 μg/mL.

Rat Respiratory Tract Infection (RTI) Model with H. Influenzae or S. Pneumoniae.

In this model, anesthetized rats (male Sprague Dawley [Cr1:CD (SD] 100 g) (Charles River) were infected by intrabronchial instillation of 2−3×10⁶ bacterial CFU/rat in 100 μL of agar directly into the lungs [G. Smith (1991) Lab Animals vol 25, 46-49]. Animals (n=6 per group) were dosed with different amounts of compound (2-fold dilution ranging from 37.5 to 300 mg/kg) by oral gavage twice daily for 4 days starting 1 h after infection. Control animals were dosed with diluent on the same schedule. The rats were euthanized 96 h post infection and the lungs removed aseptically and homogenized in 1 mL of sterile saline with a stomacher machine. Ten fold serial dilutions were done in sterile saline to enumerate viable bacteria numbers. This rat lung infection model has been shown to be able to predict human efficacy in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) caused by S. pneumoniae [Hoover J. L., C. Mininger, R. Page, R. Straub, S. Rittenhouse, and D. Payne. (2007). Abstract A-17. Proceedings of the 47th ICAAC, Chicago, Ill.].

Murine Groin S. Aureus Abscess Model of Skin and Soft Tissue Infection (SSTI).

In this model, anesthetized mice (male CD1, 20 g) (Charles River) were infected with S. aureus in semi-solid agar (1×10⁶ CFU/mouse) subcutaneously in the groin area (Jarvest, R. L., Berge, J. M., Berry, V., Boyd, H. F., Brown, M. J., Elder, J. S., Forrest, A. K., Fosberry, A. P., Gentry, D. R., Hibbs, M. J., Jaworski, D. D., O'Hanlon, P. J., Pope, A. J., Rittenhouse, S. Sheppard, R. J., Slater-Radosti, C. and Worby, A. (2002) J. Med. Chem., 45, 1959-1962). The animals (n=6 per group) were dosed with different amounts of compound (2-fold dilution ranging from 37.5 to 300 mg/kg) by oral gavage twice daily starting 1 h after infection. Control animals were dosed with diluent on the same schedule. Mice are euthanized 96 h post infection and the abscesses are aseptically removed and homogenized. Ten fold serial dilutions were done in sterile saline to enumerate viable bacteria numbers.

Results

Some of the Examples described herein have demonstrated oral efficacy in one or more of the above animal models of infection, reducing the amount of bacteria recovered from lungs or abscesses, with respect to the untreated control animals, by ≧3 log₁₀ CFU/mL.

Compositions

The compounds of the invention will normally, but not necessarily, be formulated into pharmaceutical compositions prior to administration to a patient. Accordingly, in another aspect, the invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of the invention and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may be prepared and packaged in bulk form wherein a safe and effective amount of a compound of the invention can be extracted and then given to the patient such as with powders or syrups. Alternatively, the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may be prepared and packaged in unit dosage form wherein each physically discrete unit contains a safe and effective amount of a compound of the invention. When prepared in unit dosage form, the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention typically contain from 25 mg to 1.5 g, suitably 100 to 500 mg, of compound of the invention.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention typically contain one compound of the invention. However, in certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may contain more than one compound of the invention. For example, in certain embodiments the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may contain two compounds of the invention. In addition, the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may optionally further comprise one or more additional pharmaceutically active compounds.

As used herein, “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” means a pharmaceutically acceptable material, composition or vehicle that, for example, are involved in giving form or consistency to the pharmaceutical composition. Each excipient must be compatible with the other ingredients of the pharmaceutical composition when commingled such that interactions which would substantially reduce the efficacy of the compound of the invention when administered to a patient and interactions which would result in pharmaceutical compositions that are not pharmaceutically acceptable are avoided. In addition, each excipient must of course be of sufficiently high purity to render it pharmaceutically-acceptable.

The compound of the invention and the pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or excipients will typically be formulated into a dosage form adapted for administration to the patient by the desired route of administration. For example, dosage forms include those adapted for (1) oral administration such as tablets, capsules, caplets, pills, troches, powders, syrups, elixers, suspensions, solutions, emulsions, sachets, and cachets; (2) parenteral administration such as sterile solutions, suspensions, and powders for reconstitution; (3) transdermal administration such as transdermal patches; (4) rectal administration such as suppositories; (5) inhalation such as dry powders, aerosols, suspensions, and solutions; and (6) topical administration such as creams, ointments, lotions, solutions, pastes, sprays, foams, and gels.

Suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients will vary depending upon the particular dosage form chosen. In addition, suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may be chosen for a particular function that they may serve in the composition. For example, certain pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients may be chosen for their ability to facilitate the production of uniform dosage forms. Certain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may be chosen for their ability to facilitate the production of stable dosage forms. Certain pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients may be chosen for their ability to facilitate the carrying or transporting of the compound or compounds of the invention once administered to the patient from one organ, or portion of the body, to another organ, or another portion of the body. Certain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may be chosen for their ability to enhance patient compliance.

Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients include the following types of excipients: Diluents, fillers, binders, disintegrants, lubricants, glidants, granulating agents, coating agents, wetting agents, solvents, co-solvents, suspending agents, emulsifiers, sweetners, flavoring agents, flavor masking agents, coloring agents, anticaking agents, hemectants, chelating agents, plasticizers, viscosity increasing agents, antioxidants, preservatives, stabilizers, surfactants, and buffering agents. The skilled artisan will appreciate that certain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may serve more than one function and may serve alternative functions depending on how much of the excipient is present in the formulation and what other ingredients are present in the formulation.

Skilled artisans possess the knowledge and skill in the art to enable them to select suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients in appropriate amounts for use in the invention. In addition, there are a number of resources that are available to the skilled artisan which describe pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients and may be useful in selecting suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients. Examples include Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Mack Publishing Company), The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Additives (Gower Publishing Limited), and The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients (the American Pharmaceutical Association and the Pharmaceutical Press).

The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention are prepared using techniques and methods known to those skilled in the art. Some of the methods commonly used in the art are described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Mack Publishing Company).

In one aspect, the invention is directed to a solid oral dosage form such as a tablet or capsule comprising a safe and effective amount of a compound of the invention and a diluent or filler. Suitable diluents and fillers include lactose, sucrose, dextrose, mannitol, sorbitol, starch (e.g. corn starch, potato starch, and pre-gelatinized starch), cellulose and its derivatives (e.g. microcrystalline cellulose), calcium sulfate, and dibasic calcium phosphate. The oral solid dosage form may further comprise a binder. Suitable binders include starch (e.g. corn starch, potato starch, and pre-gelatinized starch), gelatin, acacia, sodium alginate, alginic acid, tragacanth, guar gum, povidone, and cellulose and its derivatives (e.g. microcrystalline cellulose). The oral solid dosage form may further comprise a disintegrant. Suitable disintegrants include crospovidone, sodium starch glycolate, croscarmelose, alginic acid, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. The oral solid dosage form may further comprise a lubricant. Suitable lubricants include stearic acid, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, and talc.

The compounds of the invention may also be coupled with soluble polymers as targetable drug carriers. Such polymers can include polyvinylpyrrolidone, pyran copolymer, polyhydroxypropylmethacrylamide-phenol, polyhydroxyethylaspartamidephenol, or polyethyleneoxidepolylysine substituted with palmitoyl residues. Furthermore, the compounds of the invention may be coupled to a class of biodegradable polymers useful in achieving controlled release of a drug, for example, polylactic acid, polepsilon caprolactone, polyhydroxy butyric acid, polyorthoesters, polyacetals, polydihydropyrans, polycyanoacrylates and cross-linked or amphipathic block copolymers of hydrogels.

In another aspect, the invention is directed to a liquid oral dosage form. Oral liquids such as solution, syrups and elixirs can be prepared in dosage unit form so that a given quantity contains a predetermined amount of a compound of the invention. Syrups can be prepared by dissolving the compound of the invention in a suitably flavored aqueous solution, while elixirs are prepared through the use of a non-toxic alcoholic vehicle. Suspensions can be formulated by dispersing the compound of the invention in a non-toxic vehicle.

Polymorphic Forms

There have been found to be 3 characterized and reproducible polymorphic solid state forms of [(2R)-2-(Cyclopentylmethyl)-3-(2-{5-fluoro-6-[(9aS)-hexahydropyrazino[2,1-c][1,4]oxazin-8(1H)-yl]-2-methyl-4-pyrimidinyl}hydrazino)-3-oxopropyl]hydroxyformamide. These three forms are Form 1, Form 2, and Form 3.

Form 1 is a crystalline form which may be produced from a slurry of [(2R)-2-(Cyclopentylmethyl)-3-(2-{5-fluoro-6-[(9aS)-hexahydropyrazino[2,1-c][1,4]oxazin-8(1H)-yl]-2-methyl-4-pyrimidinyl}hydrazino)-3-oxopropyl]hydroxyformamide in ethers, acetates, ketones, longer chain alcohols, and other solvent systems (for example, nitromethane, acetonitrile, 2-butanone, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, diethyl ether, heptane, dimethyl carbonate, t-butyl ethyl ether, 1-methoxy-2-propanol, 2-methoxyethyl ether, chloroform, chlorobenzene, tetrahydrofuran, toluene, cyclohexane, and cyclohexanone).

A solvated form has been analytically observed for [(2R)-2-(Cyclopentylmethyl)-3-(2-{5-fluoro-6-[(9aS)-hexahydropyrazino[2,1-c][1,4]oxazin-8(1H)-yl]-2-methyl-4-pyrimidinyl}hydrazino)-3-oxopropyl]hydroxyformamide in ethyl acetate. Desolvation of the ethyl acetate solvate may be accomplished by vacuum filtration, and results in Form 1.

Form 2 is a crystalline form which may be produced from a slurry of [(2R)-2-(Cyclopentylmethyl)-3-(2-{5-fluoro-6-[(9aS)-hexahydropyrazino[2,1-c][1,4]oxazin-8(1H)-yl]-2-methyl-4-pyrimidinyl}hydrazino)-3-oxopropyl]hydroxyformamide in water.

Form 3 is a crystalline form which may be produced from a slurry of [(2R)-2-(Cyclopentylmethyl)-3-(2-{5-fluoro-6-[(9aS)-hexahydropyrazino[2,1-c][1,4]oxazin-8(1H)-yl]-2-methyl-4-pyrimidinyl}hydrazino)-3-oxopropyl]hydroxyformamide in neat, small alcohol solvent systems, such as methanol, 1-propanol, and 1-butanol. These alcohols must contain little to no water content to avoid production of Form 2, although the exact water content threshold has not been established. Heating Form 1 to above 132° C. (but not greater than ˜185° C. which would lead to decomposition of the compound) causes an exothermic solid state form conversion of Form 1 to Form 3.

The invention provides [(2R)-2-(Cyclopentylmethyl)-3-(2-{5-fluoro-6-[(9aS)-hexahydropyrazino[2,1-c][1,4]oxazin-8(1H)-yl]-2-methyl-4-pyrimidinyl}hydrazino)-3-oxopropyl]hydroxyformamide Form 1, Form 2, or Form 3 in substantially pure form.

In one embodiment of the invention a composition may comprise from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 97 or greater than about 99 percent of an individual polymorphic form, be it Form 1, Form 2, or Form 3.

Another embodiment of the invention is the polymorph Form 1, Form 2, or Form 3 in substantially pure crystalline form.

As is known, the crystalline state of a compound can be described by several crystallographic parameters: unit cell dimensions, space groups, and atomic position of the atoms in the compound relative to the origin of its unit cell. These parameters are experimentally determined by crystal x-ray analysis. It is possible for a compound to form more than one type of crystal. These different crystalline forms are called polymorphs.

Form 1, Form 2, and Form 3 may be differentiated by X-Ray powder diffraction (XRPD) of the solid state forms, as shown herein in FIGS. 6 to 8 for Forms 1 to 3 respectively. FT-IR, FT-Raman, Differential Scanning calorimetry (DSC), and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) data may also be used to assist in differentiation of the solid state forms as are shown and described herein.

Characteristic powder X-ray diffraction pattern peak positions are reported for polymorphs in terms of the angular positions (two theta) with an allowable variability, generally of about 0.1+/−° 2-theta. The entire pattern, or most of the pattern peaks may also shift by about 0.1+/−° due to difference in calibration, setting, and other variations from instrument to instrument and from operator to operator.

The XRPD data described herein was acquired on a Bruker AXS PXRD General Area Detector Diffraction system using methods as described herein. Characteristic XRPD angles and d-spacings are recorded in Table 1 below.

Polymorphic Form 1 may therefore be characterized by any one, any two, any three, any four, or any five or more of the 2-theta angle peaks.

Polymorphic Form 2 may therefore be characterized by any one, any two, any three, any four, or any five or more of the 2-theta angle peaks.

Polymorphic Form 3 may therefore be characterized by any one, any two, any three, any four, or any five or more of the 2-theta angle peaks.

Similar characterizations of any one, any two, any three, any four, or any five or more may also be attributed to the d-spacing/angstroms as shown in Table 1 below.
